Don't count Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma among those in the organization worried about captain Sidney Crosby. At least, not right now.

On hand in Etobicoke, Ont., to coach prospects demonstrating proposed alterations at the NHL's Research, Development and Orientation camp, Bylsma told NHL.com he's not sweating about Crosby when the Penguins open training camp in mid-September.

There's good reason to worry about Crosby -- he is working his way back from a concussion that cost him the second half of the 2010-11 season and the Stanley Cup playoffs. His return from conkings in the Winter Classic against the Washington Capitals and a subsequent game against the Tampa Bay Lightning is not without its stumbling points.

But Wednesday, Bylsma said he is nonplussed.

"Especially in the summertime, I try not to get involved in this type of, 'How are you feeling' conversation," Bylsma told NHL.com. "There are things I would normally talk about with Sid and those are the captain's stuff like scheduling with the team. If I was to talk to him now, I wouldn't say, 'How do you feel today?' I would say, 'Where are you now?' I would ask, 'When are you coming to Pittsburgh?' I would ask, 'How many fish did you catch up in Nova Scotia?' "

Crosby is working out back home in Nova Scotia. However, as Craig Custance reported on Aug. 15, it is possible Crosby will not be ready when the Penguins open the 2011-12 season.

General manager Ray Shero told Pittsburgh media members Crosby has experienced setbacks with symptoms after he pushes himself through a hard workout.

The Penguins open the season Oct. 6 against the Vancouver Canucks.

Byslma's plan is to go with the players available.

"We're going to figure out how to be a good team starting right in training camp with whatever situation we have with any of our players," he told NHL.com.

Even with Crosby out most of last season, the Penguins challenged for the Eastern Conference's best record. However, they were ousted in the Stanley Cup playoffs' first round.
